Olympique Lyonnais (OL) relieves his entourage about Malick Fofrana’s state of health, after an initial concern following an ankle injury contracted during the match against Marseille. The young Belgian footballer trained on Monday with his national selection in a session open to the public, although he preferred a recovery in the gym on bike after an autograph session. Lyon leaders expressed cautious optimism that the injury would not prevent Fofrana from participating in the next international competition.

OL prepares to host Angers during the opening game of the 5th day of the French championship, scheduled on Friday 19 September at 8:45 pm at the Groupama Stadium, with broadcast on Ligue 1+. This meeting is part of a larger TV program for the 5th day of Ligue 1, unveiled by the LFP, with matches scheduled for Friday 19, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September.

OL also announced a press conference for Wednesday at 2.30 p.m., with technical director Matthieu Louis-Jean and general manager Michael Gerlinger. This speech aims to take stock of the summer mercato, notably by addressing the lack of reinforcement in attack and the departure of a right winger. In a darker context, a member of the OL Academy is in custody, suspected of stabbing a 16-year-old, an incident that the mayor of the municipality described as a degenerate “simple dispute”.
